If Webz can somehow stunt his facial hair growth during a race, I reckon he'd cut .05 per lap.

Spa secures Formula 1 date for next three years

The Belgian Grand Prix's future has been guaranteed for the next three seasons, after race organisers signed a new deal with Formula 1 chiefs.

The fate of the Spa-Francorchamps event has been the subject of uncertainty over recent years, amid suggestions it was seeking a race-share deal with the Nurburgring or Magny-Cours.

But with the Nurburgring alternating with Hockenheim, and French GP plans collapsing for now, Spa chiefs have agreed their own deal.

The contract, which was announced by the Walloon Region's economy minister Jean-Claude Marcourt, will run from 2013 to 2015 - and is on more favourable financial terms for the circuit.

However, neither Marcourt nor Belgian GP chief Etienne Davignon were willing to speak about the financial terms of the contract during a press conference in Belgium.

it is also schumi's 300th gp this weekend.

[sh@un]

I wonder if the Schu can really turn on something special and, oh I dunno; not suck for his 300th race?

[wolverine]

Do you mean he is going to block the track and stall in quali or run someone off the road?

I hope he does something Schuey-esque.

I just hope it doesn't rain. I didnt wait for over a month to watch them trundle around at 60% throttle just to collect points

They were allocated hard rubber for hard racing bitches

Lets do this

Crazy amount of money being spent to be 18th with the hope of better
